The thing that will creep people out about that guy in the video is that he isn't a drone of the state with a badge.
Our society needs to offer a broad range of job opportunities who everyone who is willing to work, and people need to perceive, correctly, that there are opportunities for advancement in their trade or occupation if they work hard, delay gratification, etc. People have different talents, and not all of them are suited for college.

We need more people like Mike Rowe espousing the ideals of trades. Trades are not bad, and they foster both entrepreneurial growth and the opportunity for more earnings than the standard desk job. On top of that being able to create something is much better for most people's mental health than putting together a Power Point or Excel sheet or making a sale.doc_loliday wrote:I think we could do better to prepare non college bound kids for some kind of work.

You want the culture to change it's mind about both college and the 12 years of Prussian style education?de officiis wrote:Our society needs to offer a broad range of job opportunities who everyone who is willing to work, and people need to perceive, correctly, that there are opportunities for advancement in their trade or occupation if they work hard, delay gratification, etc. People have different talents, and not all of them are suited for college.
